First Sentence:

Jordan shifted on the wooden chair upon which she's been carefully posed, causing the drape over it to slip sideways and slither into a heap on the floor.

Summary:

As a lover, his skills are legendary... But in matters of the heart he has much to learn...
The middle brother, Raine, is both sensual and stoic. Scarred by once taking a wife who could not accept his carnal needs, he wants no part in another marriage. But duty commands that he fulfill his promise to wed King Feydon's second daughter, Jordan...
The loyal satyr begins a search that leads him from Tuscany to romantic Venice, where his beautiful bride awaits, unaware of what passionate delights fate has planned for her. Raine is careful not to reveal his powerful satyr sexuality, for fear of driving yet another woman away. But unbeknownst to him, Jordan is no ordinary woman and was born with an insatiable appetite for love. And as Raine's heart begins to melt for her, how long will he be able to hide his true nature when Jordan seems to want him so fiercely?

My Thoughts:

This book surprised me soooo much! I was expecting a typical love story with Raine and Jordan considering his past with his wife but noooo.
Apparently every year on her birthday, Jordan is taken by some doctor to be analyzed till midnight. He provides meetings to show the people of the medical world Jordan's interesting anomaly. I can't tell you what it is but its something you never would have guessed!!
I was kind of disappointed that during the whole book, there was only a little interaction with Raine's ex wife. She only got a couple of lines and that was the end of her! Poo!
The one thing that annoys me about Elizabeth Amber are her sub plots. The subplot in this novel involved a cardinal who was in LUUUURRRVVE with Raine. And Raine being Raine is like 'Dude, get the !@#$ away from me. I'm into chicks.' Cardinal man doesnt get the clue and wants Raine soooo bad he practically steals Jordan.
A wonderful romance scene between Jordan and Raine is when Jordan ties him up. Raine does not like to be tied up because that relinquishes his control. Bad Jordan!
I love how even though Raine can be a complete bonehead, he just loves Jordan to death and will do anything for her and accepts her anomaly with no questions asked. Sweet guy...
This one's a keeper, J!

So... go to your local bookstore or order online just as long as you don't make this book full of forgotten pages.
